This is pretty horrible but it's compared nothing to tech waste, that shit will literally kill us off.
Why don't they give some of those cars to charities and non profit organisations, I know a few animal shelters in my town that would make good use of those cars, sure it wouldn't solve the problem but would help for straters. I guess there is no profit in that eh and is too much hussle, easier to let them rot.
Dunno if this is true but it's worrying and a reason why today's consumer soiety will crumble:
"As it is, there are more cars than there are people on the planet with an estimated 10 billion roadworthy cars in the world today."
"The car industry cannot stop making new cars because they would have to close their factories and lay off tens of thousands of employees. This would further add to the recession. Also the domino effect would be catastrophic as steel manufactures would not sell their steel. All the tens of thousands of places where car components are made would also be effected, indeed the world could come to a grinding halt."
How about laying off those people pay for their professinal retraining (you have made enough money) and voila, but hey more cars need to be made every years or else the stock market will think we are stagnating and our shares will fall, big manager bonuses must be payed off, no time to worry about puny things like enviroment and progress as long as the pockets are full. crap
Also thinking about it it's kinda funny talking about "green" cars hybrids and such, they are actually contributing to this problem and are nothing but a marketing trick for hipsters from first world countries to feel good about themselves.
